I need to look at the bead areas, and a wheel, again and refresh my memory. As I recall it seemed fine. And it was much more work to get the Michelins off than to mount the PitBulls and Swampers.

And to pick back, of course they don't. I have much more enjoyable vehicles to drive on the road. Should a SEE need to be 25 miles from here, it'd go there on a trailer. And if it had surplus radials on it, I would consider trailering on the property, too. So there.

Like you, I wanted better tires than the stockers (which is almost anything), but not radials, and definitely not surplus radials. Also wanted a wider stance and lower contact pressure, so on one SEE I put 39.5x16.50 PitBull Rockers, on 2-inch widened rims. That setup works great, and there's...

I remember seeing what I thought was surprisingly reasonable rates. Not that I recall what they were, but it was for large and heavy machines. As far as non running goes, I'd spend and hour or two to get the better one running. It's usually quite easy. Most any broker should be able to get you...

Did anybody notice the two coming up for sale? At least one of them seems to be well worth the shipping cost, if the bidding stays reasonable, which it seems to do.

I wouldn't remove any material, since it used to be nice fit. Instead, try removing the gunk and corrosion like Speedwoble suggested. It'd be less work, and a lot less than trying to get new material in there if it all ends up too sloppy.

Another simple remedy for when going downhill with a heavy front load is to back down instead.

I always drive with my hand on the lever, ready to lower the loader NOW, in iffy situations. And I'd never run with the load that high off the ground, unless necessary for some odd reason.

One of these years I'll convert it to a mechanical linkage with a lever. But the dumb air operated setup insists on staying operational, so it's not high on my list.

Went to run the snowblower for a bit today and learned something new about the SEE. Apparently one could stall the engine if the PTO pump can't do its thing. Turns out there was some ice at the bottom of the blower, which made it feel like I was trying to start in 4th gear when it couldn't turn.

Welcome, Hawaiimoger! Don't get me wrong, but if you shift correctly there should be any grinding...even without using the clutch and with a non-synchro trans. Spend some more time behind the wheel of your SEE and that issue (synchros?) may not be an issue at all.

I have an NOS MileMarker (meant for a Hummer) that I'll never get around to install on the SEE, from the looks of it. Make me an offer, please.

I've been wanting to put air springs, at least in the rear, on my SEE. It's not fast enough to warrant having air bags...heck, I don't even use the seat belt. Anyway, look on Firestone's web site and you'll find all the specs. Swapping coils for air springs is about as simple as it gets...

Sorry, I don't have a clue what speeds the 'blower parts turn. I run the engine at about 2,000 to make the blower turn as fast as possible, but the downside is, of course, that then the SEE moves faster, too.

That's easy enough to work around, by running a longer feed line between the two.

Why worry about the alky injection in the first place? Your climate can't be that different from mine, right? I haven't filled the reservoir on the Winter SEE for years now, and the Summer SEE doesn't even have a reservoir (after I stole it and put it on the Winter SEE). I don't think I've...

Meanwhile, mine stays in Low range and I couldn't care less if its top speed was 5 mph. To me, the SEE is so much more fun than a regular tractor or backhoe. Now, if I used it commercially it would be a different story. But I'm not, so the learning expperience and fun factor easily outweighs...

It's no fun, but yes, it's adjustable. Replacing all three is even less fun, but if you do that they should be good for a while.

Make them, or have them made. I doubt there's anywhere a complete set is laying around and for sale.

Pull the doghouse and you'll see the P/S reservoir. But most likely it's a loose belt that creates the noise.
